hand feeding baby rabbits

Question
I bought symalac baby formula for my 8 day old rabbit, how often should I feed it and how much formula?  And is the baby formula ok? If not what should I get?

Answer
Dear Melanie,

We don't use Symalac, so I can't tell you whether it's good for baby rabbits or not.  But I hope you will find the information in these two articles helpful:

and if you need a good rabbit vet, you can find one here:

Good luck with the baby!
